land

At The Dow Chemical Company, developing green building and design solutions is more than just a concept - it's a commitment. This commitment is detailed in Dow's 2015 Sustainability Goals, an ambitious multi-part program to address some of the most pressing economic, social and environmental concerns facing the global community. These goals reflect Dow's dedication to the principles of Responsible Care® and have led to Dow's recognition as one of the top performers in the global chemical industry by the 2007 Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World).

Environmental responsibility is an integral part of the processes we implement and the technologies we develop at Dow. That's why we've designed our polyurethane carpet backing technology to preserve not only the beauty of your commercial carpet, but also the beauty of the environment around us.

  • Promote use of post-consumer content
  • Contribute toward LEED® Credits for carpet
  • Has low VOC emissions
  • Create a more durable, longer lasting carpet
